where do you measure on yr forks 2 find out what size fork seal driver do u need. is it across the top or do u measure around lower fork or the inside of upper fork as ive never played with forks before

tigmaster · 12-08-2007, 05:01 PM

it is the actual fork tube. the shinny part. measure the diameter of that very accurately. it is going to be something around 48mm. your best bet would be to look up the fork tube size for your bike.
